The fellow republican who wants to unseat Congressman Byron Donalds says he wants to bring civility back to politics. Jim Huff says both sides have become petty and voters are the ones losing out.
If you live in a coastal Southwest Florida neighborhood and see a 38 year old man zipping around on a scooter chances are it could be Jim Huff. He’s running to be the next congressman.
Dave: You had said that you’re seeing un-professionalism in politics right now…give me some examples of what those would be?
Jim Huff: Nancy Pelosi on national TV tore up a speech right after Trump gave it. What does that show as far as unity? The second one is President Trump. Donald Trump did not attend the inauguration event for Joe Biden.
Dave: I believe President Trump has endorsed Byron Donalds. How do you combat that?
Jim Huff: Trump hasn’t met me and he doesn’t know if I’m good or bad but really it’s just we haven’t gotten that encounter yet. I’m sure if I sat down with him he would say you know you’re in it for the right reason.
Dave Elias: Do you support President Trump and would you want to see him run in 2024?
Jim Huff: I’ll have to see what his full campaign comes out with as we get closer to that date.
Dave: If you had to grade Byron Donald’s what would you give him?
Jim Huff: I would rate him a “C” right now. He’s there and he is attending but he’s not really doing what the job entails and that’s being effective.
Dave: Do you feel people now aren’t getting the representation they deserve?
Jim Huff: I would say that actually.
Dave: What are you hearing from republicans as you knock on the door?
Jim Huff: Everyone seems a little tired with the way the government has been and they’re not opposed to a change for people who are going to work in the job.
Dave: Your thoughts on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade?
Jim Huff: It’s actually putting it back in the power of the states. I think we’re going to see a movement on these midterm elections based on that.
NBC-2 did reach out to congressman Byron Donalds to be a part of the story and we did not hear back from his campaign.
